Teresa was born in Bluffton on Feb. 1, 1968, to Roger and Martha (Hauter) Grimm. Both parents preceded her in death. She married Matthew A. Smith in Craigville on May 25, 1991; he survives.
Teresa was a 1987 graduate of Southern Wells High School and stayed at home for many years to raise her three children. She loved crafting thrifting, and watching NASCAR, and also going out and looking at farm animals. Most of all, she enjoyed sitting outside and spending time with her grandchildren.
